Handy for
Checking where a QR code leads before you open it.
Good to know
The reader works from a still image, not from the camera. Inverted codes with white modules on black are tried as well.
Privacy: where the work happens
Everything you enter or choose is processed by JavaScript in your browser and never sent anywhere. Only the page code, and any library this tool needs, is downloaded from cdnjs or jsDelivr.
Questions
Why was no code found?
The code may be blurry, cropped or too small. Try a sharper, larger image with a white border.
Should I open links I decode?
Check the address first. QR codes can lead to unsafe sites.
